Statewide project prioritization program

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) a $2.0 million Project Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 10, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2029. This grant funds the advancement of NDOT's Statewide Project Prioritization Program, known as One Nevada, which establishes a comprehensive framework for evaluating transportation projects from the initial planning phase through implementation.

The One Nevada program delivers data-driven project assessment and prioritization services that enhance NDOT's ability to make informed, transparent, and responsive transportation investment decisions. By implementing a common policy foundation and shared methodology for evaluating project benefits and impacts across the state, the program supports more effective capital allocation and project selection processes within Nevada's transportation planning infrastructure. This initiative aligns with the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program objectives to improve highway planning, infrastructure development, and resource management at the state level.
